Hi ,
Is it possible to store the field of diff types such as alphanumeric , COMP value , numeric , and field of different lengths into a single working storage variable and string each and every time
For eg:
My first field content will be numeric of length 11
My second field content will be alphanumeric of length 5
My third field content will be packed decimal of length 4
So each and evry time while running I want to string the field content along with other variables,,
Whether it is possible ?
R can anyone please help me in suggesting some other alternatives and explain with an example |

Hi Gay,
Unless i misunderstood you... I guess whatever you have asked is pretty basic stuff in COBOL..

As Binop has stated, yes this can be done.
a hint - STRING (and UNSTRING)
[as the command name implies]
only works on X-type and display.
so, if your output result is expected to contain the fields as COMP, COMP-3, etc.
you need to redefine each field as x-type for the STRING command to compile. |
